Hey guys, you guys have probably seem the pics of other people's cars that I post up all of the time from events and such so here is my personal car and i need some input.
I have owned this car for over 4 years, hitting 197,000+ miles on it so its due for a mid-life facelift after sustaining paint fade on the bumpers and a rear quarter panel damage from a parking lot fender bender.
Its going to get resprayed in a slightly different color - Matador Red Mica - from the latest generation Lexus cars - and it is going to get a body kit as well.
One of the things that I am torn about is wheel fitment. My wheels are 19" x 8.5" and 9.5" and I can fit 235/35/19 & 265/30/19 without any fender modifications as of now. None of that overstreched tires and it is definitely not in vogue with the latest HellaFlush styline trends.
So I am thinking of lowering it by another 1/4 - 1/2 inch and add maybe a 10mm spacer in the rear and a 5mm in the front to make it a little more flush.
However, at the current setup, I can squeeze out 20.000+ miles per set of tires without even flipping them half way at 10,000 miles. The rear camber is maxed out at 1.7 negative camber at the current height with no camber kit.
So what do you guys think?
